Thu Oct 12 202312:27Justin Dunn Becomes A Free Agent
Cincinnati Reds right-hander Justin Dunn (shoulder) has chosen free agency after recently being removed from the team's 40-man roster. Dunn will have to prove he's healthy to get another shot with a new organization after he missed all of the 2023 season due to a shoulder injury that required surgery to fix a torn anterior capsule in his right arm. The 28-year-old made seven starts for the Reds in 2022 and had a 6.10 ERA (8.31 FIP), 1.58 WHIP and 21 strikeouts in 31 innings pitched. In his four years in the big leagues (three with the Seattle Mariners), he has a 4.44 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 86 walks and 113 strikeouts over 133 2/3 innings and 32 starts. Dunn will likely miss a good chunk of the 2024 season as he rehabs from his shoulder injury.

Tue Oct 10 202301:31Reds Outright Justin Dunn, Four Other Pitchers
Cincinnati Reds right-handers Justin Dunn (shoulder), Alan Busenitz, Vladimir Gutierrez (elbow), Brett Kennedy and Connor Overton (elbow) cleared waivers on Monday and were outrighted to Triple-A Louisville. Dunn missed the entire 2023 season with a shoulder injury that needed surgery in September. Busenitz resurfaced in the big leagues for the first time since 2018 this year and had a nice 2.57 ERA in just seven innings of relief. Gutierrez didn't pitch at all in 2023 after having a setback while returning from Tommy John surgery. Kennedy wasn't effective in five outings (two starts) for Cincy, giving up 13 earned runs in 18 innings. Overton allowed 14 earned runs in 11 innings over three starts before having Tommy John surgery in May.

Wed Jul 26 202322:31Justin Dunn Throws Side Session
Cincinnati Reds right-hander Justin Dunn (shoulder) threw a side session on Tuesday that manager David Bell said went well. Dunn has been targeted to have his first live batting practice session against hitters on Aug. 8, with a minor-league rehab assignment expected by Aug. 19. He has endured shoulder issues in each of the past two seasons and has been sidelined since spring training because of soreness in the subscapularis muscle in his right rotator cuff. There's a chance that the 27-year-old starter will be back with the Reds in the final month of the regular season in September, but fantasy managers in deeper leagues shouldn't get their hopes up. Dunn made seven starts for Cincy in 2022 and had a 6.10 ERA (8.31 FIP) and 1.58 WHIP in 31 innings.

Sun Mar 5 202312:28Justin Dunn Shut Down For A Couple Months
Cincinnati Reds right-hander Justin Dunn (shoulder) was examined in New York and will be shut down for a couple of months after being diagnosed with inflammation in the subscapularis in his right rotator cuff. The good news for Dunn is that surgery wasn't recommended, and there's still a possibility that he could pitch in 2023. Fantasy managers should be avoided the 27-year-old everywhere to begin the season. He only made seven starts for the Reds last year and struggled to the tune of a 6.10 ERA (8.31 FIP), 1.58 WHIP and career-low 15.2 percent strikeout rate in only 31 innings. In his four big-league seasons, Dunn has a 4.44 ERA (6.23 FIP), 1.51 WHIP and 19.4 percent strikeout rate in 32 starts over 133 2/3 frames.

Sun Feb 26 202321:42Justin Dunn To Miss More Time
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Justin Dunn (shoulder) is reportedly seeking a second opinion on his lingering shoulder issues. The 27-year-old is scheduled to see an orthopedic surgeon next week in New York. Dunn seemed fine until last week when he experienced renewed soreness in his shoulder after throwing a bullpen session. The organization has decided to shut him down until he gets his second opinion. The expectation is that Dunn is going to miss a good chunk of Spring Training because of this issue. There is no timetable for his return and he struggled during his time with the Reds last season. At this point, it's best to avoid Dunn in most fantasy formats for the moment.

Wed Jan 25 202320:21Lucas Sims, Justin Dunn Should Be Ready For Camp
Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Lucas Sims (back) and starting pitcher Justin Dunn (shoulder), who both missed time with injuries in 2022, have been throwing and should be ready for spring training. Meanwhile, reliever Tejay Antone's (forearm) throwing program has been slowed this offseason by a forearm issue, but it's unrelated to his elbow issue that required Tommy John surgery in 2021. He'll be eased in as camp opens. When healthy, Sims and Antone figure to be important high-leverage arms in Cincy's bullpen in front of expected closer Alexis Diaz. Dunn started seven games for the Reds in 2022 but had an unsavory 6.10 ERA and 1.58 WHIP with only 21 strikeouts in 31 innings pitched.

Mon Sep 26 202218:28Justin Dunn To Begin Rehab Assignment Tuesday
Cincinnati Reds right-hander Justin Dunn (shoulder) is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday and throw 50 to 55 pitches. He is eligible to return from the 15-day injured list on Friday, which means he could be able to make one more start for the Reds before the end of the 2022 regular season. The 27-year-old landed on the injured list on Sept. 15 with right shoulder tightness, but he's made quick progress after missing the first three months of the season with a similar issue. Because of all the missed time due to injury this year, Dunn has made just seven starts for Cincy, going 1-3 with a 6.10 ERA (8.31 FIP), a 1.58 WHIP and a 21:17 K:BB in 31 innings. He won't be a streaming option with a fantasy title on the line if he makes another start for the Reds.

Sun Aug 7 202211:26Justin Dunn To Make Reds Debut Monday
Cincinnati Reds right-hander Justin Dunn will be recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Monday to make his debut with the team against the New York Mets. Dunn got a late start to the 2022 season due to a shoulder injury, but he completed a lengthy rehab assignment in the minor leagues and is now ready to join Cincinnati's starting rotation after they traded away Luis Castillo and Tyler Mahle recently. In eight starts for High-A Dayton and Triple-A Louisville, he had a 6.75 ERA, a 1.82 WHIP and a 24:17 K:BB in 28 innings. The 26-year-old had a decent 3.75 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 49 K's in 50 1/3 innings over 11 starts for the Seattle Mariners in 2021 and will be worth a look for rotation depth in deeper leagues since he should have a good chance at sticking in Cincy's depleted rotation.

Tue Mar 22 202214:05Justin Dunn Expected To Miss A Couple Months
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Justin Dunn (shoulder) is expected to miss a couple of months with a shoulder injury. Dunn was part of the package acquired from the Seattle Mariners in the trade that sent third baseman Eugenio Suarez and outfielder Jesse Winker to Seattle. The right-hander battled shoulder and control issues last year for the M's, although he did have a decent 3.75 ERA (4.74 FIP) and 49 strikeouts in 50 1/3 innings over 11 starts. The 26-year-old was expected to compete for a rotation spot to open the year, but that obviously won't happen now. Top prospect Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo and Brandon Williamson could be candidates to begin the year in the rotation with both Dunn and Luis Castillo injured.

Thu Aug 5 202122:02Justin Dunn Has Setback In Recovery
Seattle Mariners pitcher Justin Dunn (shoulder) has fallen behind Justus Sheffield (forearm) in their rehab programs. Manager Scott Servais said, "he was disappointed he wasn't able to get up on the mound on this trip." Dunn has been sidelined since June 18 with a right shoulder strain. The 25-year-old could not complete a bullpen session this week and will need to complete a couple of rehab outings before Seattle activated him from the injured list. The Mariners right-hander owns a 3.75 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 49 strikeouts across 50 1/3 innings in 2021. Dunn will look to get back on the mound but more than likely won't return until at least late August.

Fri Jun 18 202102:18D'backs fall again for MLB record 23rd straight road loss
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks set a major league record with their 23rd straight road loss, making dubious history in getting trounced by the San Francisco Giants 10-3 Thursday. The dejected D-backs trudged off the field after breaking a tie with the 1963 Mets and ’43 Philadelphia Athletics for road futility. Held to just a lone single by pitcher Zac Gallen through six innings, Arizona fell behind 6-0. The Diamondbacks don’t play again on the road until June 25 at San Diego. Gallen (1-2) allowed four earned runs in 2 2/3 innings in his first start back from a sprained pitching elbow. Giants starter Kevin Gausman (8-1) limited the D-backs to two runs on four hits in eight innings. The right-hander struck out six and walked one. Curt Casali homered and drove in four runs for San Francisco, finishing a double shy of the cycle. Steven Duggar went 3 for 3 with an RBI double and Mauricio Dubón and Mike Yastrzemski drove in two runs each as the Giants improved the best record in... [More]

Thu Jun 17 202112:37Indians place catcher Austin Hedges on concussion list
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians placed catcher Austin Hedges on the 7-day concussion list prior to Thursday's game against Baltimore. Hedges was hit on the mask by a foul tip Tuesday night and remained in the game. He was removed from Wednesday’s lineup about an hour before first pitch. Hedges also was hit in the helmet by a pitch from Seattle’s Justin Dunn on Friday and was on the ground for several moments. He was able to go to first base but was taken out two innings later. Hedges cleared the concussion tests and returned to the lineup Sunday. He’s batting .144 with three homers and seven RBIs in 35 games. Hedges took over as the Indians' No. 1 catcher after Roberto Pérez broke his right finger. Pérez hasn't played since May 3. "Austin yesterday just didn't feel right," president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said. "He had low energy and wasn't himself in how he felt. We got him assessed last night and he kind of felt OK. He came in again this morning and he feels better, but still not normal so we don't want to take any chances at all.” The Indians purchased the contract of catcher Ryan Lavarnway from Triple-A Columbus and transferred outfielder Jordan Luplow to the 60-day IL. Luplow has been out with a sprained right ankle and won't be eligible to return until late July. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
Sat Jun 12 202102:16DeGrom exits with elbow injury in Mets' 3-2 win over Padres
NEW YORK (AP) — Jacob deGrom was pulled from a do-it-all gem with right flexor tendinitis, a troubling diagnosis for the New York Mets that clouded a 3-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Friday night. DeGrom (6-2) faced the minimum over six innings and ripped a two-run single, giving him five RBIs this season — compared to four earned runs allowed. He struck out 10 in the abbreviated outing. DeGrom left after 80 pitches and extending his scoreless streak to 22 innings. He had a no-hit bid until Wil Myers beat the shift with a weak grounder in the fifth. Billy McKinney drove in a run with the first of his two doubles in the fifth, and deGrom followed with his two-run hit. San Diego dropped its third straight. Blake Snell (2-3) allowed three runs in four-plus innings, and the Padres couldn’t do enough damage against New York’s bullpen.

Fri Jun 11 202118:06Mariners get back reliever Graveman after COVID issue
CLEVELAND (AP) — Seattle Mariners reliever Kendall Graveman is back with the team after being on the injured list following a COVID-19 scare. The 30-year-old right-hander, who had been out since May 23, was activated Friday before the Mariners opened a three-game series against the Indians. Graveman spent two weeks quarantined in San Diego. Before he was sidelined, he had been one of the league's top relievers. He recorded five saves and did not allow a run in 16 2/3 innings over 14 appearances. Manager Scott Servais said he'll likely ease Graveman back into his usual role. He hasn't pitched in a major league game since May 16 — against Cleveland — and made just one rehab appearance for Triple-A Tacoma on June 8. The Mariners also activated right-hander Justin Dunn (shoulder) to start the series opener. He went on the injured list June 2 with inflammation. Relievers Yacksel Ríos and Keynan Middleton were optioned to Tacoma. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
